June Blog: How to Have a Restful Vacation And Gain Strength For The New School Year

This month's blog is How to Have a Restful Vacation And Gain Strength For The New School Year.
Finally! It's the end of the term. You worked hard this semester, and
you're ready for a well-deserved vacation. Before you make plans,
take a moment to think. Were you tired a lot this past semester? Did
you have the energy you needed to get all of your work done, and
enjoy a decent social life? Maybe you should focus on increasing
your energy and having a vacation builds up your reserves rather
than sapping them.
Guest blogger Ashley Kornee is a blogger and freelance writer. She
always tries to write about ordinary things in a creative way.
